The North Carolina mother of four who won a $188million Powerball lottery jackpot in February has been busted for drug possession.

Marie Holmes, 26, was charged with simple possession with marijuana after police found less than a half ounce of the drug and paraphernalia in her Brunswick County home on Thursday.

Police were at her home to arrest Lamarr McDow, an alleged gang member, for violating the curfew requirements of his bond release. He was on a $3million bond on charges of trafficking heroin.

McDow, who lived at the house with Holmes, was charged with possession of a firearm, according to WTVD.

Two others in the home, Danell Lamont McNeil, 31, and Damarius Dontrell Simmons, 21, were also charged with simple possession of marijuana, WWAY reported.

Police where at Holmes's house to arrest Lamarr McDow, an alleged gang member who lives with Holmes, for violating the curfew requirements of his bond release

A fourth man, 23-year-old Jeffrey Antuan Gause, of Shallotte - the city where Holmes lived before winning the lottery - was arrested for resisting a public officer.

Three children, aged four, five and nine, were present in the home when the incident occurred, police told WECT. McDow said they were his children.

After realizing she was a lottery winner in February, Holmes accepted a lump-sum payment of $188million in February. She was one of three winners of a historic $564million jackpot.

McDow, who had been in jail since November on the heroin charges, was released from jail on February 24 after Holmes posted his $3million bond.

Holmes said that she planned to donate millions of her winnings to her church and set up college funds for her four children.

Her children, Brayden, Charisma, Andrea and Ebony, are aged from nine months to seven years old. Brayden is believed to suffer from cerebral palsy.

1. Weed should be legal and possession should not be a crime.
2. When you hit the lottery it is time to ditch the gang member, heroin dealing boyfriend. What a POS mom to expose her kids to this with all that money.

Can you spell 'home invasion'. She is a target with a lot to lose now. Those children are in danger.

McDow, who investigators have said is a validated gang member who goes by the street name “Hot Sauce,” is back in jail under more than $6 million bond.

Officers say they also found marijuana in the home, which led to charges for Holmes and two other people in the house. Another person was charged with resisting an officer.

McDow was one of three suspects arrested in November 2014 as part of a year-long investigation. He was charged with crimes including trafficking heroin and possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver heroin. The investigation stemmed from an incident in July in the Shallotte area when more than 8,000 bags of heroin was seized.

McDow’s criminal history includes convictions for assault on a female, assault and several counts of drug possession dating back to 2000.

It sounds like she has kids with the guy. She should try to get full custody and kick him to the curb. Of course he's gonna try and get child support with all the money she has. She will wise up, hopefully.
